I searched around but didnt see exactly this, so I hope it's alright.

I was thinking it would be cool to go back through and watch any of the cinematics you've already beat when you felt like it.

The reason I say this is because when we complete the mission if the amount of people that want to skip the scene goes over half I do too. This has resulted in me missing much of the story and I just thought it would be cool if we had the option to go back and watch what we missed.

Here's an idea for the cutscenes: Hire some good actors!

But I'd like to go back and watch them, too, so..

lol I'm pretty sure we're the actors which is pretty sad to say.

I would also like to be able to watch them, they could implement them with like some kind of witch person with a crystal ball and you can look back into the past at cutscenes from levels where you've done the bonus... so that bonuses have more of a purpose.

I'd like to see some of the cuts scenes over again.

Then do the mission over. The cutscenes are generated on the fly, hence the fact that you can be killed during them.

um yeah... I'd like to double-sign this one... in dark dark red... maybe with some neon signs around the edge of the paper... perhaps a cover letter... And perhaps we could throw some good script writers onto the list too...

But on the OP point... I agree and it would be good, especially for those who skip when urged before hand but haven't yet seen the scene. You could just sub in your character (the one you've selected before watching the cutscene) and the rest of the slots could be filled with the given henchmen for the area. I think it would be simple enough to do (eagerly waits for the bug that forgets you shouldn't still get the 1000xp and skill point

)

One place where this is absolutely needed is the Dragon's Lair

::::::::::SPOILER::::::::::::::::
After learning by the 3rd or 4th facet to skip the short and pointless cutscenes many people end up skipping Glint's cutscene which is one of the (can I say better??? how about, less bad) less bad cutscenes in the game.

No matter how much I love Guild Wars, I don't think there's a single cutscene worth rewatching.

Also, whenever you're doing an infuse run, there's always someone (and always just one) not skipping the Seer scene.

Surely the end of The Frost Gate is worth rewatching!

This is both good idea and bad idea. Good because, it would be fun to watch some of the cutscenes afterwards. Bad because, this would end up forcing all the first-timers to skip'em under huge pressure by other players. And this way losing much fun from the story. I vote no.

But that's the point it's not called rewatch, it's called watch since I have never seen them before. And the idea of redoing the mission is no good either because if over half of the others want to skip it out of courtesy I do too.

bahloney · Aug 28, 2005, 06:00 PM // 18:00

Heck, I'd be happy if they just made it less likely you'll be 'killed' during the cutscenes. I end up skipping many of them and missing out on the story just because one stupid enemy keeps attacking during the scene and I dont wanna die.

Still, a way to rewatch them might be fun. They've probably already thought of this too, wouldn't be surprised to see it in one of the new chapters or some big over-hyped update.

When you get infused, the Seer's voice makes me want to stick a hot trident into my eye sockets.

Haha that happened to me.

I'm all for watching cutscene's over and over again

I can discern some entertainment value in finishing off Prince Rurik over and over again.

If you haven't finished the game yet, please don't read the above sentence.
